That was the first time he ran for governor. The second time the dem was so bad he was a joke (set up....who knows?). I mean for the primary. Until a few weeks before, Trump had a pretty good lead. Then Romney came to town.
This year, for the US Senate, I wonder if Portman might actually lose to Strickland. Portman doesn't exactly inspire conservatives or cross-over and independent votes. Besides that, he endorsed KSick in the primary, including RoboCalls with the endorsement.
Around this area, voting fodder don't like Kasich at all. He's starved local govenments in preference to the initiatives of his deep-pocket donors.
That's a big deal. Sorry, no sale.
If both Republicans Democrats are rocketing toward doom, who will win?
Well, I don’t buy that at all.
1) You don’t win-—and win women-—at the rates he does and be so “unpopular” with women.
2) I’ve written extensively on the “unfavorables.” They are bogus because of Trump’s celebrity/”Apprentice” persona. They are like those of “The Undertaker” in WWF or J. R. Ewing, or Richard Petty. People “say” they “hate you,” then buy the action toy, wear your jacket, or see your show . . . or vote for you. It’s a psychological kind of “villain” that people “hate” but love.
There is no other way to explain his significant success. It does not comport with those numbers. Moreover, he BEAT Cankles by 35,000 votes in OH . . . where he came in second! So I think there is a real, legit shot for him to beat her in FL (where he has led most polls), NC (ditto), OH, NV, MI (ditto-—he did very well against her there), and VA. That right there is the election.
These national “unfavorables” don’t comport with the Electoral College, where he does very well. We haven’t even talked about PA or NH or IA-—states that all Republicans lost since 2008 and NH since 2004.
If clause B is meant to prove clause A, this dear lil writer needs a course in logic. What crap.
I hope I’m wrong, but I’m seeing too many people thinking this is going to be a cake walk and I’m hearing almost verbatim claims of winning that I heard 4 and 8 years ago. It’s in my nature to be nervous
At the time, Limbaugh had a whole segment called “ everything points to a Romney landslide but the polls.” And he outlined the reasons that sound the same today. On election night, a Freepers from out East posted that he went to the polling place in his area to vote and he warned that from what he saw, it wasn’t going to be a good night for Romney and was dismissed by others
Performing well in a primary election isn’t the same as the general. The fact is, Hillary will have the base on board in Nov. Not anywhere near the same excitement level as 2008 Obama, but they will come around to her. She’s going to offer all kinds of freebies and Trump is going to have a difficult time countering that. And then Trump would have to keep not only the same enthusiasm with his current supporters he would gave to build on it and there’s no guarantee that’s going to continue
Now, this isn’t sour grapes because Cruz isn’t going to be the nominee as I’ve said the same things about Cruz when it comes to the general. But, as conservatives, we half to be very realistic to what any GOP candidate will face in the general election. Thank the unlimited immigration crowd for that
Personally, I don’t know who would want the job in 2016 America
Half=have
I hate auto correct
>>Kasich, in fact, is not as moderate as some voters might think. While he’s one of the few Republican governors to expand Medicaid under President Obama’s health care law and has said he supports a path for legalization for undocumented immigrants, the two-term governor has tried limiting the power of unions and enacted a series of anti-abortion measures.
Oh good. Not only is he in favor of replacing American labor, he is trying to take away the small amount of countervailing power they have. But, he is in favor of giving the unemployed health care so they don’t die young.
Yep. Definitely not “moderate”.
Perhaps he meant to say - After all, one party (the Uniparty) usually (but not always) wins.
Pimping for Katich....pretty amusing since Johnny Boy is as reliable as the Johnny from Ohio
“But you have to admit, a ham sandwich would still be far better than Jeb Bush.”
Yes, you’re correct, I’m forced to admit that a ham sandwich is still far better than Jeb Bush.
;)
Roan sounds like a neo conservative. they all plan to vote for hillary for reasons that are wholly mysterious.
Trump will win by a landslide. In small part because of democrat crossovers to the pubbies.
electing Kasich is exactly the same as electing hilliary
Please just go away with this crap. Trump will peel her like a grape. He hasn’t started yet and he has already taken Bubba off the field. This Wile E. Coyote stuff.
Since no one has taken him seriously, Kasich has not been receiving a lot of attacks. If he were the nominee, the media would go full-bore on the attack. His current poll ratings may reflect the fact that most people don't know much about him, but he comes across as a nice guy.
As a famous man said, "Nice guys finish last."
By nominating a candidate who advocates abortion, higher taxes, homos in bathrooms and now a path to citizenship. Oh wait, we are...
The uni-party operation has worked, a dimocrap running on both tickets in the general.
Satire?
All these candidates make Dewey look better sometimes, but who needed Earl Warren for VP?
